Celtic Woman (album)


Celtic Woman is the eponymous debut album of Irish singing group Celtic Woman. The members of the group were first featured on a PBS musical special of the same name. With the help of the special, Celtic Woman reached #1 on the World Music charts within weeks and remained there for a record 86 weeks.
This success led the group's musical director, David Downes, to adopt the title 'Celtic Woman' as their permanent name. Since then, Celtic Woman have toured the United States and Japan. The album was performed by vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, Órla Fallon, and violinist Máiréad Nesbitt.
The album was certified Gold in August 2005, and Platinum in December 2006, by the RIAA.
